As shown on the colour code on the older 911 shown, 114-9-1 is Signal Yellow and this does have a slight orange tinge. This specific code indicates the paint was intended to be dried in a paint booth, not air dried as that code from memory is 114-9-2 (I had a '72 this colour, then an '82 and '86 done paint to sample this colour. The paint that was supposed to be used when air drying actually had a very slight green tinge.

 

What a brilliant looking car. That's a color I would never own but always admire.

 

looks yellow to me

 

I think these guys are onto something.

 

I asked my wife; she says it's definitely yellow.

The labratapirdor agrees.

 

you could just call them? next to impossible to determine through pictures. i would be interested in the answer. my wife was pushing for speed yellow but i settled on gt silver

 

I have exchanged some interesting emails with them today. Eventually, it went up all the way to Bob Hogan, the General Manager. It was so puzzling that I even sent an email to Daniel McKenna, the dealer principal, to see if he could shed some light on the subject! The story is a bit confusing and I am trying to get to the bottom of it before I report it here in full. In general I think McKenna is a pretty good dealership and I want to be fair to them. So I hope they provide me more information tomorrow and I'll report back to this thread on what they are saying about this PTS color!

sorry, eduardo i meant the post for the OP but one should assume you'd be all over it

here's a '73 911 E targa that looks fairly consistent as well. i think it might be signal yellow as well

Looks like Hyundaid yellow more than the Classic 911.

That is a great color (whatever it is). Too bold for me to own, but definitely one I can and do admire.

 

Looks like Signal Yellow to me. Great color IMO.

Here's Fayence Yellow on the Carrera GT.

 

It's Fayence Yellow.

 

Looks more like Blueless Green to me.

 

A true color spectrum expert! Have seen one of those since Little Theodore in Miss Moneypenny's kindergarten class back in 1955! I didn't care much for Teddy, but Miss Moneypenny was real 'hot', as in 'orange' almost going into 'red'!
